If these two get to the final spec, I am looking forward to XSLT 2.0
:)))  :

XSLT:

2.18

Could Make Coercions Symmetric By Allowing Scalar to Nodeset Conversion 

Presently, no datatype can be coerced or cast to a node-set. By allowing
a string value to convert to a node-set, some user
"gotchas" could be avoided due.
 
XPath:
3. Must Support String Matching Using Regular Expressions 

Regular expressions provide a powerful way to specify string pattern
matching and now play an important role in XML Schema as the mechanism
by which pattern facets are specified. XPath 2.0 MUST support regular
expressions for matching against strings using the regular expression
notation established in XML Schema: Datatypes.
